Assault And Battery Offenses In Maryland

We are prepared to defend clients against any of the following charges:

Assault in the second degree: This is a misdemeanor, which does not require someone to physically assault another person. A person who commits this crime makes or attempts offensive physical contact with someone. Intentionally frightening someone can also result in a misdemeanor assault charge.

Aggravated assault: This is a felony charge that you may face if you have been accused of causing or attempting to cause serious injuries. An assault involving a firearm is also felony aggravated assault.

Reckless endangerment: This misdemeanor is meant to punish those who act recklessly, resulting in a significant risk of serious injury or death for someone else.

To convict you of assault, the state must prove that you intended to cause harm or illicit fear or that you were acting recklessly.

A conviction of any assault charge can result in significant consequences, potentially including jail time, fines and a criminal record that can jeopardize your employment, education and even parenting rights.
